Debating buying more, got plenty when they went on sale. I suspect this will be more popular in EU than in US in the after life...

It was on sale for so long, and so obviously going to retire, that at no time did I think it would do this well post retirement. Oh well...

I was expecting it to be more like Palace Cinema. I don't think any modulars will do as badly as Pet Shop, because they aren't as small and ugly as that set.

I'm drowning in these, was preparing for the worst. I thought it was going to tank. Oh well...

Bollocks. I missed Parisian Restaurant being about to retire. 

Any chance of a reappearance at Lego.com?

Will need to pop in and see if the local toy shop still has it.

If you can still get one at RRP you could make an instant 40% ROI flip. I'm watching carefully the "rollercoaster" on ebay, BB & DO went as high as £230-240 last Jan / Feb then dropped back down a bit to stabilise.

I check daily Lego UK but nothing, if its not back by end of this week I think its gone for good.

A min 5x stock of these would of been normal for most. If you have more hoarded you will see a very nice return quickly. ?

I think I've not been paying enough attention! I saw it go down on J Lewis but it sold out quickly.

Yes, it was easy to miss what with it being the longest ever produced modular! However, there must be a lot more peope like you for the price to spike so soon.

What are people thinking around the Carousel? Lovely set. Fancy one for me, but also worth a second?

I think it's because there is so much Lego now that it is easy to miss things, especially if you don't have stacks of cash and/or space!

Carousel - if you can still get these at RRP then Definetly jump in with as many as you can find. These have also gone up to £180 on ebay and have some more to go yet I think.

Carousel absolutely shouldn't be bought at RRP.

You will be lucky to find Carousel in stock anywhere in the UK now. They have jumped up to £200 selling on ebay in the UK and will go higher, let's do the maths??

Went to lego shop today and they had the overwatch 75974 bastion marked as "last chance to buy", dont recall any big overwatch sets on the retiring list.

 

walmart is clearancing this set for $25 around me. 

also there are zero overwatch sets in the 2020 first quarter catalog.

maybe this theme is dunzo though brickset has 6 sets coming out this year so probably not.

i'm sure someone must know something...

cool i got to post on page 666 of the retiring soon open speculation thread.

Worth it for $25? I’ve seen a couple - but they are selling. Was thinking to wait for next markdown - hopefully soon.

How long do people think the Stranger Things set has left? I want it, but cant afford it right now.

Too much Lego.

Need that Ideas Tree House, as well! ?

Tabby is still active and posting with a UK private group, but not here for whatever reason. 

 

I miss him. Where is he posting these days?

See him on HUKD from time to time.. As pointed as ever. Always great entertainment.

Too much Lego? Your mindset is wrong, man. There is only too little Lego. Money wise, if you still have your kidneys and a roof over your head, you still have options.

I'm at the point where I have more LEGO than clothing in my closet. All the space under my desk - used. Even the small shelf above my desk is packed to the max. Main storage already maxed out. You CAN have too much.

Nah, you just don't have enough storage space.  ?

You'll be fine. My warehouse isn't climate controlled and my seals are fine.

Those two 30 degree days a year must be murder.
